corner view ≈ thankfulness {or this must be the place}

today i'm thankful for sublime movie directing. this one is about kindness, on a subliminal level. the mixed density of the story reminds me of {to name a few} david lynch's, paul thomas anderson's or miranda july's approach to life in general, and to certain topics specifically. you need to couple down a few gears and adjust your seatbelt on this one, in order to enjoy the movie ride. of course the long cameo by white haired david byrne does help. his song HOME easily makes up the general gist of this peculiar quest. 

there're tears. there're moments of spark. in most unexpected corners and in a jewish kind of way. sean penn crawls into the aging body of a pop star. {now penn would do that, would he not?} i am grateful though for his true and weathered, kind face at the end. i know it's all been about moonrise kingdom of late, but slip this paolo sorrentino movie on your to-watch-list, do. if you already viewed this marveling tragic comedy of intricate innuendoes and brainy social commentaries, then spread the word. tinyWOOLF insists. ♥ jane's corner view, francesca's hosting, kari's theme. thank YOU, kari.
